Children ask questions long before they can speak. How can you answer their core questions?
What You Need to Know
Children ask core questions long before they can speak. Children ask us if they belong and if we’re glad they’re here. Responding in a positive way helps their well being.
- Parents and caregivers can show a child they belong by giving them respect and understanding.
- It’s important to communicate to children that they are important.
- Parents and caregivers can stay nearby and listen to the child when they are frustrated.
How You Can Help
You can help by showing your children that they belong and that they are important to you.
- Give your child special time with you. Spend extra time reading stories, drawing, or going somewhere special. Convey how important and respected your child is.
- Take the time to say “I love you” with words and actions. No matter how young your child is, they will get the message.
